Han, you gotta use that turn hur you gotta turn to turn them out, got to turn out to the water the water. Come come on your baby, I show will a good morning everybody, y'all listening to the voice, come on dig me now wanted only Steve Harvey got a radio show. Okay, here we go. I was working out. I was talking to a buddy of mine, and I was telling him something that Bishop T. D. Jake's told me one time I heard him say it. He said, Oh, I would hate to die and not do the thing that I was born to do. I would hate to die and not do the theme that I was born to do. Man, oh man, oh man, man. That hit me like a like a like a pile of bricks man, because it made me feel so grateful that God has allowed me to live my life this way now. And I'm talking about grateful for all of it. The good, the bad, and the ugly, and I have had all of them. The person you see today it ain't always who I was. It was on the inside of me, but it hadn't externalized itself, if that's a word. It hadn't been brought out. It was in hell, but it was under development. Who I am today was a process. But like I said before, don't trip Hem through with me yet. Even today, I'm still an imperfect soldier for Christ. Today I still fall short oftentimes, but I'll tell you what, I'm ever grateful for the life I have. And you know what, I want to incur urage everybody today to explore your possibilities. I mean, man, explore your possibilities. Why would you not want to find out, discover, or know what it is God got for you? Why would you not want to achieve or accomplish all of your possibilities? Now, as I ask you this question, I want you to know that the devil is busy, that he plays mind tricks. So as you hear this, I already know he's saying to some of y'all, Yeah, Steve, that's easy for you to say, But I didn't get myself in this situation, right, here. Ain't nothing too hard for God, nothing nothing. And see, so as you listen to me, try to try to get your mind open to this. Why would you not want to explore all of your life's possibilities, what's possible with your life? And I'm talking about from right where you are right now. I'm not asking you to change, I'm not asking you to do anything. I'm telling you this is a fact that God can get you from right where you are right now. Broken, misled, misguided, misunderstood, mistaken, all of that, misfortunate, all of the missus you've been talking about in your life. You know you I missed a lottery, I missed my ride. They fined men, I missed the deadline. I didn't get it. Miss people. People just miss stay self to death. If you've been all in missus, God can get you from right where you are. God a home run hitter. I'm here to tell you that he's a home run hitter. He's a put him over the wall whenever he want to, all the time. And you can be a recipient or some of these home runs. He'll put the bat in your hand. But you got to swain. Now, listen to me. You got to stop feeling sorry for yourself. You got to stop holding yourself down with beating yourself up. I was listening to George Myers on TV the other day and she said that she was talking to God, and she said that she had kept asking God to forgive her over and over one of her prayers, Lord, forgive me and for something she had done, and she was telling it to somebody. As I remember the story she was telling, she says she was telling it to somebody, minister or something, and the minister said, hey, hey, hey, he heard you the first time. See a lot of us we keep ourselves down and back because we keep beating ourselves up for the mistakes weed and made. But God is in the forgiving business all day long. He forgives you time and time again. He won't hold you down about it if you don't hold yourself down about it. But I'm gonna tell you one more time. The devil is busy. So what the devil do is he makes you think you ain't worthy. He makes you think that you've done something so despicable that you can't come back from it. He makes you feel like you're so low you can't go up high. He knocked you down and make you feel like you've been knocked down harder than anybody else. You can't get up, he wrote, you so deep down in that ditch you can't see over the edge. God can come get you from no matter where you are. I know a lady. I know a lady personally. The doctors told her you got sixty days tops a year and a half. Lady, she was still here. I'm telling you, man, you ain't in no hole too deep for God. Magic Johnson to tell you that. Listen to me, you ain't in no hole too deep for God. Steve Harvey can tell you that you ain't in a hole too deep for God. Tyler Perry can tell you that I can name you some people. Bishop Jake can tell you that. I could tell you. Kenneth Alma can tell you that. Bishop Kenneth Olman I could tell you some people. Kirk Franklin can tell you that. Donnie mcclarkton can tell you that. I just know some people personally, man that then't been in a hole. Joel Oldstein can tell your body, I know some people man been down, been in a hole so deep. I bet you. Paula Deane can tell you about it. See, but but you know what, then here we go see we see see you know, see we don't we don't like to talk about that because now we want everybody to pay extra hard for some mistakes they made when clearly and excuse me for being a new Christian, but there is a prad that I've been saying since I was a little bitty boy, and it took me till I was a grown man to understand it. Forgive us our trust pass as we forgive those who trust passed against us. So see, it ain't my job to hold nobody down, to keep my knee on somebody's neck. Who am I? I'm gonna need some forgiveness in a second here, probably today. See so all this, you're holding people down with the way you feel in bout them. And she shouldn't have said this, and she will never get it. I'll never support this again. Man, get up, get up and get real. You're for real? You think you ain't fit the need forgiveness? Real soon you ain't fna make a diabolical mistake in your life. You don't think you are. I have thousands of them, probably gonna make a few hundred more for I Get up, out of here. So I've decided to be in a forgiving business because I want God to forgive my trust passes as I forgive those who trust passed against me. You understand. See excuse me for being a new Christian. I get I get tired of talking to pistol, to people man supposed to be saved and talking about their christian I don't want that type of religion. Man. I ain't in that, no more. I ain't in that. You can call me wrong if you want to saying how you want to say. I ain't in that, no moal, I ain't in all that. You can feel how you want to feel about me. But I got proof that God work in my life. You know, I can't hardly get it out sometime when people ask me something about deeper on the inside of me, about my soul and how I used to being, and my journey and my trip because people don't know the trip I've been on. You may have been on one worse than me, but you know what, you ain't in a hole too deep God can't get you out of. And I wish I want, I want people to remember that man, God is a redeemer, He the Great. I am so if you ain't got nothing, now what you asking fault? You know you might not have nothing because you ain't asking for nothing? Could asking God to get you out of debt and ask God for a life of abundance. Then you take the money and you get out of debt. You keep asking to get out of debt. You keep being in debt to get out of Come on, man, what you're asking God? Fault? I'm just tripping today, that's all. I'm sorry. I apologize.

And you know, the grass is not always greener, and so what seems to be the perfect life out here and and you know, with the power coupling and you know, the big lifestyles, what goes on behind the scenes that you don't hear about. You know what do these couples really have to deal with when they have to go home and get out of public and don't have to smile anymore? Hey, So, Tracy, sit tight, hold it right then stop, We're gonna come back find out more because now we're into the juice of what this he is. So we come back. We're gonna find out more about Games People Play right after this with Tracy Edmonds. You're listening, all right, y'all, we're back and our specially guess this morning is the one and only Tracy Edmonds. She's joining us a really top producer. She's back at it again with an incredible new show called Games People Play and it premiers tonight everybody on b ET tonight on b ET at ten pm Easton. So we were talking about it, and you touched on the subject that for all of us who live out here, we understand that the behind the scenes of life out here in La can be really quite different from what just the public has been accustomed to seeing, right, that's right, Yeah, and that's what we explore. And you know, Steve, I know, you know what we're talking about. And and I've actually, you know, lived a lot of that life myself, you know, my adult life living out here in la and you know, being in romantic relationships with high profile men and there's a there's a price that you pay for all that. And you know, our show explores, you know, how all this couple that's got a smile in the public deal with their problems at home and you know, will their love, you know, allow them to survive all the stuff that is going on in their household, including infidelities. Wow, we say it all the time, but we meet like I was with the guy that won an oscar for herchel Ali, Yeah, and he and his wife have been married for a while, and I was just going, man, how do you do it? Because it's a struggle out here, because it's so much mess out here. Yes, there's so many temptations and vices that are kind of presented at you, and you know, keeping it real, the women are very aggressive out here too. It's like there are a lot of what we call opportunities, a lot of people trying to come up that don't care about marriage, you know, that don't care about families and you know, breaking up families and all that. And so we get into the drama on the show and we explore it all and we keep it real. Well, now you know what's interesting here, I'm just looking at the list of people that's on this show. Ye Ken opposing Jackie Long. Lauren London, Yeah, is on the show. Yes, my sister. Yeah, yes. And first of all, Lauren is the most beautiful human being inside and out. I mean, I cannot tell you. She's become my little sister. And she and I just bonded from the moment we started working together. And she's so smart and so strong. And the tragedy that Lauren has just recently gone through with the loss of the love of her life, you know, Nipsey Hustle, Like I just I can't stop thinking about her. I'm like praying for her and she's in my thoughts twenty four to seven. And so as a as a show, we've all become a family. And so Lauren's loss was a tremendous loss to all of us, and so we just been lifting her up through prayer and stuff, and you know, but we are so proud of the work she's done on this show. Like, I can't wait for you guys to see how amazing Lauren London is as our leading lady, as Vanessa King, the woman that is going through all the mess that we're talking about. Yes, she's very good. I can't wait to see this show. I think, well, well, we're gonna see it tonight, everybody tonight at ten pm Eastern specific on beet. It stars Lauren London, Parker mckinno, Posey, Jackie Long, and some other great actors. Now, let me ask this last question. What attracted you to this project? Games People Play Well. First of all, it is based on the bestselling novel called Game in Diva's Place. I read the book and the book was so juicy and had so much drama going on. It was a page turner and I couldn't put it down, and I'm like, this would make a great series. And then also to Steve, you know again, this is the life that I've led, and so I could relate so much to this Vanessa King character played by Lauren London because this character is like trying to have her own life, but you know, wants to be there to support her husband and her family and has to deal with so much, you know, stuff and make so many sacrifices. You know. So we're exploring a lot of issues and stuff, and you know it's very dramatic, and you know there's there's a murder that takes place also, it gets crazy. Okay, well, Tracy, we're gonna support it tonight at ten pm on Eastern, I mean ten pm Eastern on b ET, ten pm specific on BEET. That's everybody tune in, games, people play. It's a new series. Let's support our sisters in this show. It all be great. Tracy, thank you so much. Thank you, Steve, thank you all. He congratulations. You're listening to show coming up at the top of the hour.

Subject, get ready for this one. My son caught me cheating. Dear Stephen Shirley, I've been married to my amazing husband for eighteen years. We have three children, eighteen, fourteen, and ten. I love my husband, but his job requires a lot of traveling, and that leaves me feeling lonely. The loneliness got so bad that I started having an affair with a co worker strictly for the amazing sex and companionship. There are absolutely no feelings involved. Well. A few week ends ago, my husband was out of town and my children were at my parents' house for the weekend because I wanted to have my coworker come over for some late night fun. He came over and we were getting down and thirty in my living room, when, to my surprise, my eighteen year old son walked in and caught us in the act. God. He was just standing there in shock for a minute before he ran to his room. I got dressed and tried to talk to him, but he remained silent. I begged him not to tell his dad because it would destroy our family. A full week has passed and my husband is home. My son still won't talk to me, but he's normal with my husband and his siblings. My heart hurts, knowing the guilt he must be feeling by not telling his dad. Should I come clean with my husband so my son can be set free, or should I continue to have my son hold my secret to save his family. I have ended the affair. I talked to my pastor and talked to my pastor and prayed for forgiveness. What else can I do? This is like one of the most hurtful letters I think we've ever had. I mean, really, it doesn't get much worse than this. And how disrespectful and ratchet of you to be having sex in your living room where your husband and your family live. I mean, what were you thinking? You talk about how how amazing your husband is for eighteen years, how much you love him, and all of this, and because you were lonely, you started in an affair and you had sex in your living room. This is crazy. I mean, really, you gambled with your marriage, you got caught, and now, hey, whatever happens happens. You've talked to your pastor. I'm glad about that, and I'm especially pleased that you have prayed and asked for forgiveness. But although God forgives us for our sins and all of that, you may still have to deal with the consequences if your husband finds out, and it is up to you, is up to God, is up to your son. Now, you really really really need to talk to your son. I know he's not talking to you, but somehow you're going to have to find a way to get through to him and talk to him and tell him you know, this is a mistake. This was a mistake. You didn't mean it. You love your husband. All you got to you gotta convince your son that, um, almost what he saw, he didn't really see almost almost you. I know you can't do that. I'm just saying, you really got to talk to him. Oh he saw it, I know that, But I'm just saying, you really really really have to talk to him. Um. I still don't know how you're going to fix this, and I really can't believe that you did this in your own home. This is a mess. This really really is. If your husband finds out, I'm pretty sure you're done. Steve. Take your time on this. Yeah, I'll see this one right here. I don't you know. It always kills me when people start their letters, you know, they always I love my husband, amazing, you know, to my amazing husband for eighteen years. We got three kids, eighteen fourteen ten. It requires only his job requires a lot of travelers, so he are working, he trying to make it them for his family, and it leaves me feeling lonely. Well, you got three kids, you know I got I got you feeling lonely. I can't I can't say that ain't gonna happen to you. The loneliness got so bad that I started having an affair with a co worker. Now here's what you had the fair fault. Strictly just all this phone now strictly for the amazing sex and companionship. Now are absolutely no feeling is involved. Well, now, I find that hard to believe. I really do find that hard to believe. Man, Because of all the people you could have picked, you picked him. And why did you picked him? Because of something? You picked him for a reason. He must have been cool. Y'all had had this conversation before y'all jumped on this train. Y'all both on. Well, a few weeks ago, my husband's out of town and my children at the parents' house for the weekend because I wanted to have my coworker come over for some late night fun. What that's the stupidity of this whole thing. Get a damn rule, where his both y'all working, where his room mat He ain't got money for a hotel. I don't understand how this fool came over another man house at the thought your husband could come back early never crossed his mind. His mind, I'm talking about your that you ain't got no feelings for hitting with over another man's house and ain't thought. I mean, I ain't know where in hell I'm in somebody's house. My damn pants off. I'm boy, dog, it ain't no way. I promise you that that ain't ever happened, That ain't ever gonna happen. That can't happen. Okay, let's start with him. He's stupid. Now let's move over to your stupid ass. Okay, because everybody in the damn that a stupid to me. What the hell was you thinking in your house, disrespecting your husband who out working this y'all's home. You got a lot of nerve causing him an amazing husband. Where you damn sure ain't no amazing wife. You're trifling and tricky. You got over your house in the living room, just in there getting it. Now, this po boy walks here, he eighteen years old.

Dad ain't his daddy, Thank you. Man. It's horrible what he jacked out. Now he run to his room. You put your clothes on and beg him talk to you. Then you beg him not to tell your daddy because it'll ruin your family. Him telling your daddy is not the reason the family ruined. We'll get on that right after. Yeah, we'll have part two of Steve's response coming up at twenty three after the hours, subject my son caught me cheating right after this.

Wow, this fool, This man took his clothes off in another man's house. And man, I'm telling you right now, that's unthinkable. But even more unthinkable is you had the man come to your home where you raise your family. Y'all been on that couch watching TV. Now you in there, just got all kinds of stuff on the damn couch now watching TV. And now oh oh oh, it ain't no more eating pop corn when it fall on the cushion. No more. Huh hello. See now you're the change the dynamics of the couch. But here the real trifling part. Your eighteen year old son walk in caught us in that act.

Ohoh whoa hold up man who out in held in such high esteem since birth? Who was the first woman I ever loved? This my mama on this couch with another man that ain't my daddy. So now he going the room. You got dressed and tried to talk to him, but he remained solid. I begged him, so you went in the room. I begged him not to tell his dad because he would destroy our family.

When you're going there and tell it, it changes nothing for what your boy saw, your ass is trifling. But then you're gonna tell your husband that the reason you come and clean is because his eighteen year old son witnessed it. What or should I continue to have my son hold my secret to save this family? I've ended the a fan talk to my past I don't know what your pastor told you, but I don't even really know what the pastor can tell you. I prayed for forgiveness, well the Lord and probably forgave you, because he do forgive. I ain't gonna try to run this by your husband. Now.

So we were talking about it, and you touched on the subject that for all of us who live out here, we understand that the behind the scenes of life out here in LA can be really quite different from what just the public has been accustomed to seeing. Right, That's right, yeah, And that's what we explore. And you know, Steve, I know you know what we're talking about. And and I've actually, you know, lived a lot of that life myself, you know, my adult life living out here in LA and you know, being in romantic relationships with high profile men, and there's a there's a price that you pay for all that. And you know, our show Explorers, you know, how this couple that's got a smile in the public deal with their problems at home and you know, will their love, you know, allow them to survive all the stuff that is going on in their household, including infidelities. Wow, we say it all the time, but we meet like I was with the guy that won an oscar for herchel Allie. Yeah, and he and his wife have been married for a while, and I was just going mad, how do you do it? Because it's a struggle out here, because it's so much mess out here. Yes, there's so many temptations and vices that are kind of presented at you, and you know, keeping it real. The women are very aggressive out here too. It's like there are a lot of what we call opportunities, a lot of people trying to come up. Don't care about marriage, you know that, don't care about families and you know, breaking up families and all that, and so we get into the drama on the show and we explore it all and we keep it real. Well, now you know what's interesting here. I'm just looking at the list of people that's on the show. Ye Ken Opposy, Jackie Long, Lauren London, Yes, is on the show. Yes, my sister. Yeah. Yes. And first of all, Lauren is the most beautiful human being inside and out. I mean, I cannot tell you she's become my little sister. And she and I just bonded from the moment we started working together. And she's so smart and so strong. And the tragedy that Lauren has just recently gone through with the loss of the love of her life, you know, Nipsey Hustle, Like I just I can't stop thinking about her. I'm like praying for her and she's in my thoughts twenty four to seven. And so as a as a show, we've all become a family, and so Lauren's loss is a tremendous loss to all of us, and so we've just been lifting her up through prayer and stuff, and you know, but we are so proud of the work she's done on this show. Like, I can't wait for you guys to see how amazing Lauren London is as our leading lady as Vanessa King, the woman that is going through all the mess that we're talking about. Yes, she's very good.

All right, and we'll be back with our last break of the day and Steve's closing remarks right after this you're listening to all right, Steve, here we are last break of the day and um please uh let us leave out of here with some inspiring words, some closing remarks from you. Thank you. You know, Um I was, I was talking earlier in the year to everybody about having the best year of your life, and it's it's still possible. It's it's only April, you know, and um you can still have the best year of your life. You really can. You just have to change the way you think it's it's it's nothing more and nothing less. You know, when people when I say that to people, go well, Steve, it's just more to it than that. No, it's not. No, it's not the beginning of changing your life. It starts with changing your attitude. It starts with changing your outlook. It starts with change your mental disposition. That's the start of it. Man. The beauty of it is you don't need anybody's permission to do that. You don't have to get a loan to do it. You don't have to be accepted by the college to do it. You don't have to get a promotion to do it. You don't need your friends to sign off on it. There is no one that can take a vote on it. You have the power, starting right now, to change your mental disposition. That is the beginning of greatness for you. That's the beginning of making your dreams come true. That's the beginning of starting to get the life that you so desperately want. That's how it works, man, it doesn't work any other way. So two thousand nineteen is a great year. I'm not talking about because of the numbers. I'm just talking about because if you expect it to be, then so shall it be. If you expect twenty nineteen to be better than eighteen. There's nothing that says it can't. Now. It's not saying that something wrong won't happen along the way, because I promise you it can. I've already had some bad news this year, but that is not stopping two thousand nineteen from being the best year of my life just because I've gotten some bad news already. Because you've gotten some bad news, can I share something with you. It's gonna be some bad news in twenty twenty. It's gonna be some bad news in twenty twenty one, and it's gonna be more than one piece of bad news too. But as I think of two thousand nineteen, I look at this as a year of transformation. I look, if you are believer, do you know that in two thousand nineteen that God could actually restore what was stolen from you? Do you understand that in two thousand nineteen you could be expanding your circle, that in two thousand nineteen God could be giving you new opportunities. Do you know that in two thousand nineteen, man, God could actually be put in favor on some of your options that you're looking at. Do you know that in two thousand nineteen, man, that God can be subtracting your problems and multiplying your resources. Do you understand that that can actually happen if you go to God and ask him for it. That's what I've asked for in two thousand nineteen. Let me talk to you for a second about these dark moments that you have from time to time, as all of us do. We all have dark moments. We all go through periods of darkness where you don't know how the outcome is gonna be. It's okay, because let me tell you something about darkness. Stars can't shine without darkness. Ain't no star. You don't see the stars in the daytime. You see the stars when they get dog. You got to have darkness in order to be a star. Stars can't shine without darkness. Y'all see all of this darkness that you're complaining about. Quick complaining about it. It's necessary. Quick complaining about it. When people start throwing dirt on you, Stop complaining about that. Man. It's happening to everybody everywhere, all around the world. It ain't just happening to you. It get dark for everybody. But say it to yourself when you get dark. Stars can't shine without dogs. Some of The most beautiful scenery I've ever seen has been at night, gazing up at the stars. But it was dark outside. It was some danger lurking outside. But if you get your head up, if you get your eyes up towards heaven, if you can keep what upward, gaze in all this darkness, some stars up. Damn man, the real beauty of it is you one of them. Man. Stars ain't just made in Hollywood. Stars has made all throughout life in this world. Some of the biggest stars in the world. Ain't got nothing to do with Hollywood. Ain't got nothing to do with TV movies, none of that. You can be one of the brightest stars in the middle of some darkest nights. You probably are one of them. Just gotta realize it, man, or stars shine only when it's dark. That's why I deal with the darkness. That's it. Y'all have a great day, feel me? Yeah, Steve, did you drop it? Wow? Yeah? That was deep? Really, man, this is my year. I claim this is my year. Why would it not be. That's right, that's right with the god we serve. Come on alone, y'all have a great weekend him for all.
